* The opening, with Peter Quill stealing the Orb, borrows heavily from the opening sequence in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'', with two parties both after a valuable artifact that can kill people.
* Peter's laser pistols bear more than a passing resemblance to the Covenant Plasma Rifle from ''VideoGame/HaloCombatEvolved'', or also the laser pistols from ''Film/TheBlackHole'' (1979).
* The Hadron enforcer looks like a larger, blockier version of the Bio Rifle from ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament3''.
* Several are direct nods to the pop culture that young Peter would have been exposed to as a child of the late 1980s, prior to his abduction from Earth:
** Peter calls Ronan's necro-soldiers "[[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Ninja Turtles]]".
** In prison, Peter states the Orb has a "[[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Ark of the Covenant]], [[Film/KissMeDeadly glowing briefcase]], [[Film/TheMalteseFalcon1941 Maltese Falcon-esque]] vibe."
** Peter initially calls Groot "Literature/TheGivingTree", and later refers to Rocket as "Ranger Rick", after the raccoon mascot of the children's magazine of the same name.
** Peter's ship is named for TheEighties actress Alyssa Milano. [[note]] ... who, according to WordOfGod, was Peter Quill's childhood crush.[[/note]]
** Peter gets Gamora to listen to some of his music by telling her of the Earth legend ''Film/{{Footloose}}'', and the great hero Creator/KevinBacon. (Bacon also starred in James Gunn's ''Film/{{Super}}'').
* A quote borrowed from ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders'': "Shoot them before they hit the ground!"
* Upon being marched into the Kyln, Gamora, Rocket, Peter, and Groot recreate the AbbeyRoadCrossing.
* Ronan's comlink to Thanos on the ''Dark Aster'' displays as a HugeHolographicHead, similar to a scene in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' and another in ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''.
* In the MCU's typical fashion of Easter eggs to other Marvel comics books, when Peter tries to sell the orb to the Broker, you can see [[ComicBook/{{Runaways}} Staff of One]] among items in his store.
** There's also a reference to director James Gunn's previous foray into snarky sci-fi: slugs from ''Film/{{Slither}}'' in one of the Collector's glass cases.
* Peter's giving the bird to Nova Corps during his mug shot ("Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know how this machine works.") is akin to Goose "accidentally" flipping the bird in ''Film/TopGun'' ("I hate it when it does that, I'm sorry.")
* The grim aesthetic of Ronan's army (grey metallic interior and armor with elaborate decorations, {{Magitek}} liquid pools, [[WetwareCPU minions used as computers]], vaguely undead-looking FacelessGoons (although the Sakaarians are insectoid, not undead, but they do pilot ships called Necrocraft) in grey, pseudo-medieval armor) heavily resemble [[Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick the Necromongers]]. This in a film that has them attack a SolarPunk planet and stars Vin Diesel.
* While the Guardians are on Knowhere, Groot gives a little girl a flower, referencing Anime/CastleInTheSky.
